Acute Cardiac Care

Acute cardiac care focuses on the rapid diagnosis, stabilization, and treatment of patients experiencing life-threatening cardiovascular emergencies. It integrates advanced clinical assessment, hemodynamic monitoring, pharmacologic management, and interventional strategies to improve survival and reduce complications. The Acute Cardiac Care session is designed to help clinicians strengthen their response capabilities across emergency departments, coronary care units, intensive care environments, and pre-hospital settings. This session addresses how early identification, precise triaging, and evidence-based pathways can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality in high-risk patients.

As cardiovascular emergencies evolve in complexity, global demand for structured educational programs and Cardiology conference trainings continues to rise. Hospitals and cardiac centers increasingly rely on standardized, team-based protocols to manage arrhythmias, acute coronary syndromes, decompensated heart failure, cardiogenic shock, and post–cardiac arrest care. This session explains how rapid diagnostics—including biomarkers, point-of-care ultrasound, ECG interpretation, and risk stratification tools—guide urgent decision-making. Participants will learn how to deliver coordinated care during time-sensitive events, implement guideline-based therapies, and collaborate seamlessly with emergency physicians, cardiologists, intensivists, and catheterization lab teams.

Beyond resuscitation and stabilization, the session highlights modern strategies in critical cardiac care, ranging from mechanical circulatory support initiation to ventilation management, integration of pharmacologic agents, and early mobilization techniques. Real-world case discussions will explore the management of high-risk patients presenting with STEMI, non-STEMI, malignant arrhythmias, acute myocarditis, pulmonary embolism, and hypertensive emergencies. The content focuses on high-value decision-making—what must be done immediately, what can be delayed, and how to navigate resource-limited settings in both large centers and smaller hospitals.

Participants will also gain insights into post-event care pathways, including neuroprotection after cardiac arrest, multidisciplinary care coordination, protocol-driven observation, and transitions to cardiac rehabilitation. Quality improvement, communication strategies, documentation standards, and metrics used to evaluate acute cardiac care systems will be integrated throughout the session. By the end, attendees will be better prepared to respond rapidly, avoid preventable errors, and deliver world-class cardiovascular emergency care with confidence.

Core Priorities in Acute Cardiac Care

Rapid Assessment and Early Intervention

  • Recognizing symptoms and hemodynamic instability through structured triage and rapid-response protocols.
  • Using ECG, biomarkers, and bedside ultrasound to quickly determine severity and guide immediate action.

Management of Acute Coronary Syndromes

  • Applying evidence-based antiplatelet therapies and workflow models for timely reperfusion.
  • Coordinating with cath lab teams for rapid transport, activation, and post-procedural stabilization.

Advanced Resuscitation and Shock Management

  • Implementing targeted temperature management, airway support, and circulatory stabilization techniques.
  • Identifying cardiogenic shock early and initiating tailored mechanical or pharmacologic support.

Team Communication and Systems Organization

  • Creating efficient pathways between ED, ICU, cath lab, and nursing teams.
  • Using standardized checklists and quality dashboards to reduce delays and improve patient outcomes.
